Everything, [minus the excellent logo](http://canadiandesignresource.ca/?p=1058), feels underwhelming and flat. The overall style borrowed heavily from the ’80’s style guide, meaning that the work was derivative and lacked innovation. Expositions are a great way to showcase a nation’s abilities and design is the perfect vehicle for this ride.
